Zechariah 3
1 Then [Yahweh] showed me Joshua, the Supreme Priest, [who was] standing in front of the angel that Yahweh had sent. And Satan was standing at Joshua’s right side, [ready] to accuse him.
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मलाई प्रधान पुजारी यहोशू परमप्रभुको स्वर्गदूतको अगि उभिएका देखाउनुभयो र शैतान तिनलाई पापको दोष लगाउनको निम्ति तिनको दाहिने हात तिर उभिरहेको थियो ।
2 But Yahweh said to Satan, “Satan, I am rebuking you! I [am the one] who has chosen Jerusalem [to be my special city, and I] am rebuking you! This [man, Joshua], [has been brought back from Babylonia]; he is surely [like] [MET, RHQ] a burning stick that has been snatched from a fire.”
परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतले शैतानलाई भने, “ए शैतान, परमप्रभुले तँलाई हप्काऊन् । यरूशलेमलाई चुन्नुहुने परमप्रभुले तँलाई हप्काऊन्! के यो मानिस आगोबाट निकालिएको अगुल्टो होइन र?”
3 Joshua was wearing filthy clothes while he was standing in front of the angel.
स्वर्गदूतको अगि उभिँदा यहोशूले फोहोर लुगा लगाएका थिए ।
4 The angel said to those [other angels] who were standing in front of him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” [After they did that, ] the angel said to Joshua, “Look! I have taken away [the guilt of] your sins, and I will put beautiful clothes on you.”
अनि स्वर्गदूतले आफ्नो अगि उभिरहेकाहरूलाई भने, “त्यसबाट ती फोहोर लुगाहरू फुकालिदेओ ।” अनि तिनले यहोशूलाई भने, “हेर! मैले तिम्रा पाप तिमीबाट अलग गराइदिएको छु र म तिमीलाई असल लुगा लगाइदिनेछु ।”
5 Then I said to them, “Put a clean turban on his head!” So they put a clean turban on his head and put [new] on him, while the angel sent by Yahweh was standing there.
त्यसपछि मैले भनें, “तिनीहरूले तिनको शिरमा एउटा सफा फेटा लगाइदिऊन्!” यसैले परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूत उभिरहँदा नै तिनीहरूले यहोशूको शिरमा सफा फेटा लगाइदिए र तिनलाई सफा लुगा पहिराइदिए ।
6 Then the angel said [this] to Joshua:
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतले यहोशूलाई यस्तो कडा आज्ञा दिए,
7 “The Commander of the armies of angels says that if you do what I want you to do [IDM], and obey my instructions, you will (be in charge of/have authority over) [what is done in] my temple and its courtyard. And I will allow you to speak at any time to the angels who are standing near to me.
“सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, तँ मेरा मार्गमा हिँडिस्, र मेरा आज्ञाहरू पालन गरिस् भने, तैंले मेरो भवनको जिम्मा लिनेछस् र मन्दिरको सुरक्षा गर्नेछस्, किनकि यहाँ मेरो सामु उभिएकाहरूमध्ये म तँलाई भित्र आउन र बाहिर जान दिनेछु ।
8 Joshua, [you are] the Supreme Priest, and your (associates/fellow priests) are sitting in front of you. They symbolize/represent things that will happen in the future. [Some day] I am going to bring someone who will work for me, someone who will be called the Branch.
प्रधान पुजारी यहोशू, र तँसँगै बस्ने तेरा साथीहरू, सुन! किनकि यी मानिसहरू चिन्ह हुन्, तर म आफैँले नै मेरा दास अर्थात् हाँगोलाई ल्याउनेछु ।
9 Look at the stone that I have put in front of Joshua. There are seven sides on the stone. I will engrave a message on that stone, and in one day I will remove the guilt of [all the people of] this country.
अब मैले यहोशूको सामु राखिदिएको ढुङ्गोलाई हेर् । यो एउटा ढुङ्गोमा सात आँखाहरू छन्, र म एउटा शिलालेख खोप्नेछु, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, अनि म एक दिनमा नै यस भूमिबाट पाप मेटाउनेछु।
10 At that time, each of you will invite his friends [to come and sit] under his grapevine and under his fig tree. [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels declares.”
त्यस दिनमा हरेक मानिसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आफ्नो दाखको बोट र अन्जिरको रूखमुनि बस्न निम्तो दिनेछन्, परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ ।”
